To say "hug me" in Gujarati, use મને ભેટી પડો (mane bheti pado).

What does it mean word for word?
The phrase મને ભેટી પડો is composed of મને (me), ભેટી (meeting/joining) and પડો (fall/become), which literally means "fall into a meeting with me" in the sense of embracing.
How does it change in a sentence?
Adding the suffix -જો (-jo) to the end of the verb makes the request sound more like a gentle, polite suggestion or a soft request: મને ભેટી પડજો.

Did you know?
- While ભેટી પડો refers to a hug, the root word ભેટ is also the standard Gujarati word for 'a gift'.
- Because of local social customs, using this phrase with a casual acquaintance instead of a close family member or partner could be seen as highly inappropriate.
- In traditional Gujarati settings, the act of 'joining' expressed in ભેટી can refer to a spiritual union rather than just a physical embrace.
Examples in context
- જ્યારે હું આવું ત્યારે મને ભેટી પડો.jyaare hu aavu tyaare mane bheti pado.Hug me when I come.
